Two weeks ago, Kaiser and I were e-mailing about Matt Damon’s wife Luciana and Kaiser thought she was pregnant. She wrote, “the last time I saw her was when Matt got the lifetime acheivement thing, I thought she looked pregnant in some photos.” I thought it was just Lucy’s dress, but it turned out Kaiser was right! Matt Damon’s wife is expecting her third child with the Oscar winning hunk. Matt and Lucy are parents to three daughters: Isabella, 3, Gia, 19 months, and Alexia, 11, from Lucy’s first marriage. US Weekly has the news, along with some nice earlier quotes from proud dad Matt about what fatherhood means to him:

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana are expecting another baby, his rep confirms to UsMagazine.com exclusively…

Damon — who quietly wed Luciana at NYC City Hall in December 2005 — has credited his kids with keeping him grounded in Hollywood.

“It’s pretty easy to kind of lose your way… having kids is really helpful,” he told Parade magazine. “They kind of disabuse you of the notion of your greatness pretty quickly. There’s a routine that you get into with kids that precludes you from going back to your single days. I’m probably more boring than I used to be. I go to bed earlier and I get up earlier.”

He said he hopes his daughters take after their mother. “My wife is a very wise and a very thoughtful person. Hopefully, they’ll inherit that,” Damon said.

Added the actor (who supports charities including One, which fights AIDS and poverty in third world countries): “From me, I hope they’ll inherit a sense of social justice and a desire to continue some of those programs that I’m involved with. Maybe not those exact ones, but hopefully, something to further social justice.”

I wonder how far along Lucy is, as she didn’t look pregnant at all to me a month ago. It’s hard to tell with the dress she was wearing, though. One quote of Matt’s that US doesn’t mention is a funny reference he made last year to the fact that he’s the only male in a household of girls. He said “I live with women and girls so I don’t have control over anything.” Matt has that in common with his old friend Ben Affleck, and the National Enquirer ran a story last year that the two of them were suffering from “estrogen overload.” I bet Matt is hoping for a boy, but imagine he’ll be thrilled with another girl too. Congratulations to Matt and Lucy on their upcoming arrival!

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana had a baby girl on Wednesday, August 20. Little Gia Zavala is Damon’s third daughter. Damon and Luciana also have daughters Isabella, two, and Alexia, 10, from Luciana’s last marriage.

“Matt and Lucy Damon had a baby girl named Gia Zavala on Wednesday, Aug. 20th. Everyone’s doing great,” Damon’s rep, Jennifer Allen, tells PEOPLE. “She is a healthy baby girl.”

The newest addition is the third little girl in the Damon household, joining big sisters Isabella, 2, and Alexia, 10.

Damon recently joked about living with so many females, telling USA Today from his home in Miami, “I’m so outnumbered down here, it’s crazy.”

Damon gained 30 pounds to play the role of a troubled executive in The Informant, out next year. He has to quickly lose the weight to reshoot scenes for his film Green Zone in early September. Damon is boxing for exercise and joked that “if you get hit enough times, [the weight] will fall off.” He has also started a charity, the H20 Africa Foundation, which aims to bring clean water to villages in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The 37 year-old actor will take the rest of the year off to focus on his growing family.

Congratulations to Matt and Luciana! I like the name they picked, Gia Zavala, with an exotic middle name. Luciana was born in Argentina and I wonder if Zavala is a family name or what significance it has.

Matt Damon, his pregnant wife Luciana Barroso, his old friend Ben Affleck and Ben’s wife, actress Jennifer Garner, went out for dinner on Saturday night at Nobu restaurant in Malibu. Matt and Luciana were laughing up a storm, but Ben and Jennifer looked a little somber. I can easily speculate that at least one photographer was shouting obnoxious questions at them based on that barely decipherable story by Ted Casablanca that there’s trouble in their marriage. If you watch any paparazzi video they pepper the celebrities with near-constant questions that can seem incredibly creepy and stalkerish.

The last we saw of Matt he was looking super frumpy and a little plump on the Hawaiian set of The Insider. Put a hat and a normal shirt on the guy and he’s the fine action hero dad again. His wife looks gorgeous and I love her outfit and hair.

Affleck appeared on Nightline on Thursday in a piece talking about his work in the Congo. He’s more than aware that celebrities can be bashed for doing charity work, but he feels that he has currency as a famous person and he may as well spend it on doing good in the world.

As for the state of his marriage, Affleck told Access Hollywood that everything is fine and that he couldn’t be happier:

“Things are pretty great,” Affleck said, when asked if he had any vacation plans on the horizon. “We’re very happy. Things couldn’t be better. We’re kind of taking it easy and just kind of enjoying a little downtime at home.”

The tabloids are going to use these photos and run stories with made up insider quotes that Garner and Affleck are having trouble. I bet you these two are just annoyed at the intrusive paparazzi and the rude questions they shout.

Thanks to Splash for these photos.

Matt Damon, 37, and his wife of two years, Luciana Barroso, 32, are expecting their second child together. They have a 20 month-old daughter, Isabella, and Matt is the stepfather of Luciana’s 9 year-old daughter, Alexia, from her first marriage. Damon and Luciana were seen out at the Empire Film Awards in London last night, where Bourne Ultimatum won best film. It was obvious that Luciana was pregnant.

People Magazine has a statement from Damon’s rep, who confirms the news, saying “They couldn’t be happier, They’re so excited!”

Last year there was a story at the end of August that Luciana was three months’ pregnant, but that would make her nearly due at this point, and she doesn’t look that far along in these pictures from Sunday.

Congratulations to Matt and Luciana! According to People, Matt is now shooting the thriller The Green Zone in Morocco. He has two other films scheduled for release next year, The Informant, another thriller, and The Human Factor, which is based on Nelson Mandela’s first term as South African President. Morgan Freeman will play Mandela.

Matt Damon’s wife, Luciana Barroso, 31, is said to be three month’s pregnant with the couple’s second child together. They have a 14 month-old daughter, Isabella, and Luciana has another child, 9 year-old daughter Alexia, from her first husband.

“Luciana is about three months along, and she’s doing great – and Matt couldn’t be happier,” a source close to the 36 year-old actor told The Enquirer.

“They don’t yet know if the baby is a boy or a girl, and they’re still deciding whether to find out the sex beforehand.

“Their main priority is to have a healthy baby – but I’m sure in the backs of their minds they’re hoping for a boy.”

If this news is true, congratulations to Matt and Luciana! Matt seems like a devoted father and husband and they must be ecstatic. When a reporter asked him recently if he liked being married, he said “F–k, no. It’s a ridiculous thing to do. But I like being married to her [Luciana].”

Fatherhood sounds like a challenging but rewarding role for Damon. He suffered a painful pinched nerve in his neck while holding and feeding his daughter and had to skip the after party at the Berlin premiere of The Bourne Ultimatum on Tuesday. He told German newspaper Bild “My 14-month old daughter Isabella did me in — something no killer can.” Damon attended the premiere with acupuncture needles in his ear and was spotted out wearing a neck brace the next day.

Meanwhile there’s a lack of sensational news about top box office draw Damon, and Star Magazine is running a laughably mild story about how he got dissed after his 1988 senior prom by his date titled “The Girl He Can’t Forget”!:

“We went to an after party on Cape Cod, which is two hours from Boston, and my girlfriend bumped into an ex boyfriend of hers at the party,” Matt recalled in a 2004 interview. “We all went back to a little shack, and her sister told me to sleep in this longue chair.”

Unfortunately for young Matt, his date spent the rest of the evening lavishing on her attention on her ex! “I didn’t have a car; I was stuck there. It was terrible,” Matt lamented. In another interview, he added that he was “hopelessly in love, crying myself to sleep. I mean heartbroken! Crestfallen!”

Matt’s ex girlfriend is now married to a former NBA pro, has four children, and lives in Florida. I wonder if she’s smirking over the fact that her old high school picture is in Star Magazine this week along with that nearly two decades-old story that she wasn’t interested in Matt Damon. It seems like the worst thing this guy did was break up with Minnie Driver by telling Oprah about it first, and after he made that mistake early in his career he’s turned into an incredibly good guy and an all-around decent human being. If only all celebrities could be like Damon.

Matt and Luciana are shown at the London premiere of The Bourne Ultimatum on 8/15/07. Thanks to PRPhotos for these pictures.
